UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,

J. FREDERICK LOEBLE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENINSYLVANIA,

COMBINED JELLY-GLASS AND MONEY-BOX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,757, dated September 22, 1885.

Application filed June 16, 1885. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J. FREDERICK LOEBLE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a certain Improved Jelly-Glass and Money- Box Combined, of which the following is a specification.

The object of myinvention is toso construct a glass vessel for holdingjelly, &c., that when the contents are removed the vessel or receptacle may be used as a toy savings-bank; and this object I attain as fully described hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the glass vessel or receptacle. Fig. 2is avertical section of the receptacle as filled with jelly or other simi lar material, and Fig. 3 is a corresponding view of the receptacle after the jelly or other material has been removed and thereccptacle is used as a money-bank.

A represents the body of a glass vessel, which I prefer to mold in the shape of a bell. On the outer rim of the mouth of the bell is formed a screw-thread adapted for the recep- I tion of a correspondingly-threaded cap, 13, of I sheet metal or other material, to close the i mouth of the bell. The vessel thus constructed forms a suitable receptacle for jellies, preserves, &c., as illustrated in Fig. 2, the cover B forming the base on which the vessel rests.

In the body A, at or near its top, is molded or otherwise formed a deep recess or notch, E, so as to leave a comparatively thin connection of the glass or equivalent material at 6, but no opening. \Vhen, therefore, the jelly, preserve, or similar material has been used out of the receptacle, the latter can be converted into a toy money-bank, by punching or knocking out the bottom of this notch or recess E, so as to form a slit in the top of the receptacle for introducing the coins, while the cap B, as before, closes the lower end, as shown in Fig. 3.

Iclaim as myinvention Asa new article, the herein-described receptacle having a notch or recess, E, formed therein, with a closed bottom adapted to be punched out to convert the vessel into a toy money-bank, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

J. FREDERICK LOEBLE.
